Impressionable Youth

Lock the children away

From a world that they can't understand

We must keep them in their innocence

Take out any influence

Of which we won't approve

 

Keep the children alone

And away from those that may do harm

Won't let them make a single friend

Will go to any end

To keep them at home

Keep the children in line

Don't let them behave this way

Make them act like they're all grown

We will mold them into our own

Ideals and dreams

Make the children conform

They are far too young to figure it out

After all, they're just a human being

We will crush all their hopes and dreams

And make them a drone

Let the children unite

Against the adult regime

Tell them you won't take no more

You have the rest of your life to become full-grown

Let the children unite
